Three Olives

A Grey Goose vodka bottle, a cobalt martini glass, a steel shaker, and a tray of pimento-stuffed olives. All the ingredients of a perfect dirty martini, arranged as a top-down still life. It's 5:00 somewhere!

In my younger days, I could partake in an evening cocktail or two without it disturbing my sleep. Now, I'm more interested in how the light illuminates liquid, reflects off brushed metal, glows on frosted glass, and looks leathery on the skin of olives. If this scene makes you salivate, this is the painting for you. Cheers.
